Although intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is associated with negative outcomes, studies focusing on older adults are still emerging. Specifically, the relationship between IU and psychological health in this population remains unclear. Moreover, no review has focused on understanding the unique contributions of IU and aging to anxiety and mental health in older adults.

- Prospective memory (PM) impairment is a frequent issue following moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), often treated with compensatory strategy training (COMP) and rehabilitation.
- This study investigates how COMP affects white matter integrity in TBI patients, using advanced diffusion MRI techniques to assess brain changes.
- Results show that the COMP group experienced less neural degeneration compared to those receiving routine care, suggesting that the intervention may help preserve brain function post-injury.
Objective: Fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used for evaluation of fetal anomalies, and rates of incidental maternal findings are not well characterized. Our objective was to evaluate the rate of incidental maternal findings at the time of antenatal MRI performed for fetal indications.
Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study that included all fetal MRIs performed between 2018 and 2023 at a single tertiary care institution with a multidisciplinary fetal diagnosis and treatment center.
This study investigated the roles of loneliness and prospective intolerance of uncertainty (IU-P) on mental health, and identified the sources of stress and joy during the COVID-19 in Hong Kong. Two thousand two hundred and fifty-eight older adults completed the survey. Older adults who had higher levels of loneliness and IU-P were more likely to have poor mental health.

- Children with ADHD often face sleep issues, which are linked to higher rates of internalizing problems like depression and anxiety.
- In a study of 188 children with ADHD, 59% reported sleep problems, and those with these issues were less physically active and experienced higher internalizing symptoms.
- The findings suggest that improving sleep and physical activity could be vital for reducing depression and anxiety in children with ADHD, highlighting the need for future research on these relationships.
